Flamingo Lane

The first prominent crack right of the E-Street dihedral.  This is one of the better trad lines on the cliff with excellent rock and a wide variety of jams.  The crux involves desperate climbing through the steep bulge using a mix of jams and face holds.

Stem, jam, layback, and crimp up the corner using every kind of climbing move imaginable.  Good rock and well protected.

This route has some excellent and sustained climbing, unfortunately the natural line has a large patch of bad rock near the third bolt which requires a detour left to the Thunder Road crack.  After heading back right, the rock becomes excellent with thin, desperate moves to surmount the final roof.  Shares anchors with Thunder Road.

This route sports a mysterious feature that is quite unusual for Ogden quartzite.  It was originally envisioned as a warmupif you tug on the 4th draw it makes a nice 5.10.

Start up Badlands. From the crack above the crux reach out and clip the bolt at the lip and work past the overhang, up the arete, to finish up the face near the top of E-Street.

The rock is good and the moves are fun.

Scott didn't name it, but he is nowhere to be found. So, hell, I belayed him on the FA and I'm going to throw out a name that sticks with the Badlands theme.

This route has been jokingly rated at 5.10-V5, due to the 40 feet of fun, moderate moves which end abruptly at a frustrating, one move wonder boulder problem below the roof.  Once you reach the roof, exit left onto the arête and finish up the slab.

This striking arête sports fun moves on excellent rock.  The first half is powerful and athletic while the second is subtle and balancey.  Shortys may have to dyno to the starting holds.

This is a direct start to Flamingo Lane.  Make sure to protect the starting moves as a sharp boulder at the base would make for a rough landing.

This route, while fun, is mostly a boulder problem in a cool setting.  The rock really isn't all that bad.  If you're up for the 5.12s in the area, this one probably shouldn't be missed since it is a small commitment time-wise.  All you have to do is work a few moves close to the ground.  Pull the lip and you are essentially done. Then, wander up some 5.8 to the anchors.

The protection is good and the bolts are easy to clip.  This should see a lot more traffic, given how easy it is to play around on.  I'm surprised it took me 10 years or so to finally give it a go.

This route is a good warmup.  The moves gradually increase in difficulty until the crux right above the last bolt.  Shares anchors with Pocket Loverboy.

The route ascends a fine rolling bulge of cream orange quartzite, topped not with a cherry, but fun challenging moves.

Shares start with the project, then moves out right along a thin seam on tiny crimps.

Climb the right leaning crack with a mix of crack and face climbing to the ledge.  The crux may be getting off the ground.  Rap off Pocket Loverboys anchors.
